AS HEARD ON TV: "Our version of "Sleepy Maggie" is used in "The Black Donnellys" pilot. About 7 minutes into the show there's a bar scene --"Sleepy Maggie" plays throughout the scene.
The tune is a Mad Maggiefied version of a traditional reel.

Mad Mags asked Wally Sound to let his dub spirit and sensibility run wild. The result is very pleasing! Take a trad hornpipe and add some Jamaican Dub stylings. Call it a tribute to the long history of Irish in the Carribean. 🙂

Drunken Sailor's Hornpipe -- NO.
Not that tune.
This is a 5 part hornpipe -- mad maggiefied, of course.
Ya gotta love the bass clarinet ...

Why do you go to conferences? Spider Robinson said, "Shared pain is lessened; shared joy is increased; thus do we refute entropy."
Y’all! I just noticed that it’s midnight. So it’s officially my birthday! 🥳
I’m focused on a two-day celebration with my family, beginning on the morn. We’re ignoring everything that’s wrong with the world during those 48 hours. Our personal mental health break. (The fascism fight returns after that.)
So I would love to see anything y’all have that brings joy. Jokes, dogs, food, art…anything good. Or just well wishes, even. Please and thank you.
This is my 1,000th post. I joined in 2022 after I moved to the Isle of Skye. Since then I have enjoyed the contact with so many of you. You are, without exception, a very interesting group of people. You are spread across the world and your interests, enthusiasms and views are wide and varied. However not so varied as to include any negativity, hatred or bigotry. I am always uplifted by your posts. Thank you all. You bring joy.

Three good things today:
1. Painting shelves as part of updating the interior house style a bit. It's been a while since I've had energy for hands on, practical creativity, and it feels good.
2. A cool and quiet morning, before the heat sets in for another day.
3. Coffee. One of life's little pleasures.

I love Mastodon. Within two minutes of being on here I can see amazing things people are creating, share in someone's joy, and have someone make me laugh. It's a wonderful sense of community, and I'm grateful to be here with you all.

Also, a quick update for those of you who contributed to @joynewacc’s evacuation campaign.
While we were originally expectingt his to happen by the end of November, there was a delay due to a change of policy at the Italian government but we hope to bring you good news on this front shortly.
We won’t be sharing actual dates prior to the evacuation for Joy’s safety but we will let you know the moment she’s safely out.
Thank you again for having helped fund her scholarship.

🎶 ☠️💜
An original instrumental featuring accordion, guitar, a Roland Juno 106 and other synths.
Slow, sweet, wistful, with plenty of heart.
Real musical perfomance, no programming. No AI.

🎶 ☠️💚 New tune for the turning of the season
"Our Hearts Ride A Big Wheel" is a genre-fluid and AI defying tune --romantic, rhythmic in a quirky arrangement with a blend of accordion, guitar and synths.
Happy Solstice!
As crazy as the world can be, music and love persist.

If you were an ice cream flavor, which flavor would you be and why?
"The horrors of the past few days were vibrant and searing, and Trump’s subsequent response made it that much worse. But signs of light can be found around so many corners. For example, people across the country are organizing to stop ICE from invading our communities."

"I attended a training in Brooklyn last weekend with approximately 1,000 other New Yorkers where we learned strategies for resisting ICE and protecting the people they seek to hurt. Whistles were given out as favors. It was inspiring and electric.
If we can salvage one bit of light from this moment—maybe even just a spark—it’s that while Trump’s rule is punishing, it is not impenetrable."

"I think there is something beautiful about always lighting the light. Right? The light in the darkness. Righ?. So, you know, it's how do you want to live, folks? We have one life. How do you want to live? Do you really want to go down this rabbit hole of Randy Fine and all these hate mongers and Laura Loomer? It's a miserable place to be."

"And if you don't believe me, look at Donald Trump, the world's most powerful man who late at night or, sorry, early in the morning, just wakes up with hate and bitterness in his heart, has all the money in the world, five billion dollars thanks to crypto, has failed up in life, escaped all accountability. If I were him, I'd be sleeping, drooling, watching TV and golfing and drinking a Diet Coke."

"But even then, still miserable. So even all the wealth and all the power and having a cult at his service still hasn't given him joy, grace, dignity, and peace.
It's right there in front of you. It's corrosive, folks. It's corrosive. Hate just eats you up inside. There's a better way to live. So light a candle."

"Every day brings something else that makes you want to curl up under the covers and make yourself less visible.
But that’s exactly when reclaiming your voice matters most.
Because reclaiming your voice – literally or metaphorically – is an act of resistance all on its own."

What’s your most random but excellent talent?
If you're living with a chronic illness, it's perfectly OK to feel sorry for yourself: it's a reasonable reaction to a difficult situation, and sometimes it's important just to sit with that feeling for a while.
But don't be afraid to make room for other feelings in your life too, including love, joy, empathy, kindness, and gratitude. Our illnesses are part of our lives, but there's a lot more to us. ❤️

When I say passable: in graduate school I wrote a Prolog interpreter in java (including parsing source code or REPL input), within which I could run the classic examples like append or (very simple) symbolic differentiation/integration. As an undergraduate I wrote a Mathematica program to solve the word recognition problem for context-free formal languages. But I'd need some study time to be able to write these languages again.
I don't know what the hell prompted me to reminisce about programming languages. I hope it doesn't come off as a humblebrag but rather like old guy spinning yarns. I think I've been through so many because I'm never quite happy with any one of them and because I've had a varied career that started when I was pretty young.
I guess I'm also half hoping to find people on here who have similar interests so I'm going to riddle this post with hashtags:
